On an impressive series of similes
So I'm sittin here playin' SOCOM 2 Online alone in my house when i see this computer sittin' here and say, "Hey, I haven't updated in a couple of days. So i sit down and start updating with no purpose what-so-ever. I'm thinkin' about makin' this one about that Book of Five Rings, but hey I'm too lazy to go get it to think about what I'll write about. So I just continue on rambling until I think of something important to say.
In that light, Halo 2 uber-rocks all your faces to the max. I went to the Ranger Station and played it up. However, it being my first time playing, I got royally worked. Especially by Jordan, who has played that game entirely too much for it only coming out the day before. That was a little creepy. Other than a little time over at the L-factor's casa nada much has happened around here.
In the spiritual life of Phil, I've been a little depressed at myself lately, but for some reason this sunday just smacked me right in the face/jaw and I've discovered a much more disiplined side to me than I have ever known before. Granted its only been a day, but in that day I've done things I haven't done for much too long a time. Such as read the bible, pray (I don't mean the generic, "Thanks for this day... Help me on this History Test coming up..." I mean actually prayed with God. I say it that way to express the fact that praying, as all pastor's, Leaders, and Speakers have said, is a conversation with God. Now, I'm not quite sure how it works, and it is a 2-sided conversation by our standards, but there's something there when you put your whole heart into trying to talk with God.
I've found that when I'm sitting here, saying, "Oh, I should read the Bible to stay up with my plan for reading it all the way through, but its a weekend so I should play PlayStation2." Just saying the name, "God", "Lord", or as Jeff (who has his own blog now) would say, "Yahweh" puts a fear in my heart but not a terror kind of fear, an awe-inspired fear. As a great song puts it, "Your name is like honey on my lips, Your spirit like water to my soul, Your Word is a lamp unto my feat..." This incredible series of similes couldn't be any more correct in my book or any more encouraging. With out the essentials, spirit and light, we would parish, and without the joys, honey, life would be unbearable. Whenever I feel far from God this song will become my anthem, my theme song. mmmmm.... off to fall asleep reading the Bible (I'm in Leviticus, not the most exciting book ever).
p.s. If any one knows the name or any more of that song i quoted please tell me, all I can sing is that chorus looped over and over.
"Ah! So the game is afoot!"
